Dear Anet, instead of spending 200.000$ on so called “pros”. Dont know if the amount is correct, neither the less, spend that money on staff who can fix the pvp problems, you intend to fix, such as balance and so on. Your gonna come with a balance patch next season, cant you work a little faster with those balance patches. You might lose some players because you’re too late with those patches. People will come back and try the pvp out, but this time fix it for real. Guild Wars 2 as a esport is a joke, the game has around 500 people watching at twitch, around 1000 when some “pros” playing against each other.
And i say “pros” because I come from the counter-strike scene where only skill matters, and tactics of course, in this game its pretty much skill+class, if you’re a pro at this game you should be able to kill any class with a class like those “non-meta class”.
